hmm, no Blakesley effect.

 

Actually, I think it's there and metal flow is good.

 

Blakesley effect? illuminate me please

 

No matter what class of clip is involved, in many cases, the rim opposite the clip will be flat and poorly formed. This effect is known within the hobby as the "Blakesley effect" and occurs due to the absence of pressure in that area during the upset (or rimming) process.

 

i'm a noob, sorry I ask a lot of questions hehe

 

awesome ty

ty so much!

 

That's okay! You're allowed when you're learning.

The upsetting mill raises the rim somewhat before the planchet enters the coining chamber. This helps to make the metal flow outward more easily.

I don't see any Blakesley Effect, either.

Chris

 

I did Know what that was until I goggled it, LOL but yes there is some there Look at the tad whider rim between the R and T compared to rest of rim? Am I correct? I put this in a flip when I first stared roll hunting and I am still a Noob!!

 

I'm still not so sure. Can you post an image of the reverse?

Chris

 

It's visible on the rim of the reverse but it's very faint. Nice piece!

 

TY
Should a coin like that be sent out? Or just a neat keeper?

 

Thanks! The reverse is much more revealing. It's a nice keeper, but it would probably cost more for grading and attribution than it would be worth.

Chris

 

May be worth sending in. Not very common on large coins.
